Why do you have to be religious to realize that killing a fetus that will definitely become a baby is wrong? My morals wouldn't change whether we were created by God or from a big bang. Life is beautiful and that sperm hitting the egg and creating life is like hitting the ultimate lottery ticket. An abortion is ripping up that lotto ticket. Whether it's 2 or 6 months in the womb or 6 months out.......what's the difference? The difference is that 6 months out is considered murder and the other is applauded as a smart "choice" by many.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16594468.post-52359790639191650572007-08-20T01:46:00.000-06:002007-08-20T01:46:00.000-06:00If these other people are anyone but the woman who...If these other people are anyone but the woman whose uterus holds the fetus, I don't think their desires are relevant to the abortion question. <BR/><BR/>Would my desires concerning your liver give me rights to change your drinking habits?

I think that is more the essence of the issue.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
